Note(s)
JBL eliminated Shawn Michaels last in the matchup. As Michaels’ boss, JBL told Michaels to lay down and let JBL pin him, but HBK could not bring himself to do it, so he begged JBL to hit him with the Clothesline From Hell and pin him that way. JBL did and he is now the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title.
On next week’s RAW, William Regal will defend the Intercontinental Title against #1 Contender CM Punk.
